[D13 ME] Calm

[Asahina Soyokaze]

Soyokaze wriggled to get his legs off of the Kitsu. "I'm fine are both of you okay?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"Nothing that hasn't occurred half a dozen times already," he says with a chuckle and finding his feet from the top of the pile. He offers each a hand.

And it would likely be noted at this point at least that he had a relatively easier time of it than he might have a week or so ago. He seems to be filling out the arms of his kimono a bit more than previously. Exercise with Tanabe had apparently been quite helpful.

[Asahina Soyokaze]

Once he had helped Oubaihime up Soyokaze took the offered hand. "Arigato." He looked them both over to make sure they were really okay before turning to regard the sword, worried what it's fate was in all of this.

[Kitsu Murato]

The sword was fine as they had taken a step away from it. Almost as though Murato knew this was a possibility. Perhaps that clumsiness was why he had chosen not to handle it quite yet.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

She took the offered hand. "I am fine." The Kaito smiled and pulled herself up. "So... what are you two doing here?"

[Kitsu Murato]

"I was... practicing my kumihimo. And also finding my center and offering prayers," he explains. "And Soyokaze-san was apparently seeking me out for a conversation and to offer me a beautiful gift," he said, moving to take up the decorative katana and bringing it to show Oubaihime. "A beautiful piece and a reminder that we have more in common with each other than most would otherwise guess."

[Asahina Soyokaze]

The Crane stepped aside so Oubaihime could get a better look at the sword. "Murato-san and I have wound a complex path through this miai, I want to leave this place with no animosity between us, no matter what happens."

[Kaito Oubaihime]

"Oh... sokara..." Bai smiled. "That is nice... I should do the same with Kaikoga sama... I have been unable to muster the courage to talk to her." The priestess sighed.

[Kitsu Murato]

"Well, she was the one that suggested our first private meeting," he reminds Oubaihime. "So I hope that if there is tension it might be cleared. Though I know that she can be... much." He smiled at that.

[Asahina Soyokaze]

"Indeed, we should try not to leave here with things unsaid, which reminds me." Reached into his kimono and pulled out a small bag, removing a tanto from it that bore the mark of the Seppun and offered it to Oubaihime. "Would you bless this?"
